Benefits open enrollment begins today
October 27, 2014
Faculty and staff may enroll in 2015 benefits beginning today and ending at 6 p.m. (ET) Nov. 14.
"We hope everyone will take advantage of this once-a-year opportunity to review their benefits," says Eva Nodine, benefits director in Human Resources. "You'll live with your benefit decisions for a full year, so it's worth a few minutes to review your choices and be sure you've recorded everything properly for 2015."
Faculty and staff will go to the Purdue Employee Portal at www.purdue.edu/employeeportal, click the EBenefits link at the top of the page and then enter their Purdue career account username and password to access the EBenefits site. Following the "Click here to begin 2015 enrollment" link will let the employee view benefit information and begin the enrollment process.
